by candles glow
did I read you

"between the conception and the creation
between the emotion and the response
falls the shadow"
TS Eliot,
by candlelight

holding the pages within my palms
held upwards, honoring the moment
when his pen did strike the page,
with each phrase
striking this bosom
as if those lights did flare anew!


and in another moment
"sunlight on a broken column,
there, is a tree swinging
and voices are
in the wind's singing
more distant and more solemn
than a fading star"

I quietly sip the wine,
let my tongue savor the words,
and remember
it is in the rhythm and structure
that the messages of the heart
can be felt, in resonance
in harmony
beyond the cacophony
of mere noise.

Hey Kacy?  Kudo's gal, this is brilliant writing.  Dang, I could see the glow, feel the warmth of the wine as each word was savored.  This is yummie, and definately

Magnificent, Kacy!
In my opinion, this numbers in the top two or three of all you've done!

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
